Buchta an imposing 6-foot-4, 195 pounds pitching prospect, pitching from a high three-quarter slot. Buchta gets heavy arm side run on the fastball that was up to 84 mph. His 70-72 mph 12/6 curveball flashed out pitch quality at times. He also has a change up with developing feel that flashes late arm side fade to the pitch. Buchta’s projectable frame likely fills with a chance for his stuff to tick in the near future.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-4, 195-pounds.
Delivery: Slight drop and drive type delivery, open toe landing.
Arm Action: RH. Arm action has length, plunges on backside with slight wrist wrap. High 3/4 slot.
FB: T84, 82-84 mph. Heavy arm side run. T2233, 2113 average rpm.
CB: 70-72 mph. Flashed sharp 12/6 at times. T2174, 2134 average rpm.
CH: 73-75 mph. Sinks hard to the arm side. T1762, 1604 average rpm.
He’s 6-foot-3, 166-pounds with an above average spinning curveball for his age, it flashed sharp action and averaged 2341 rpm, while showing an upper 70’s fastball with well above average control of the zone.
